Bought Another F-Type V8S

[Phil.]

I've only gone and bought another V8S today 14 plate and 10k miles. Italian racing red.

[Phil.]

It's my second V8S. I bought MY14 new in May 14 and sold is last summer. It's the first car I have really missed. So bought another with a higher spec and different colour.

Jcuthell - yes it was the one at the Porsche centre.

Are those gloss black mirror caps or the CF ones?

I don't know, what's the difference between the two types?

[Phil.]

They're gloss black covers. I had the carbon fibre pack on my previous V8S.

[Phil.]

I've checked with the dealer and they said the previous owner had the covers painted gloss black. It's probably the most cost effective way if they are not available locally to you.

[Phil.]

Finally picked up the V8S yesterday. I had forgotten how good they are. The exhaust is a hoot

Yes, I know it looks like a JLR forecourt, the neighbours have already commented

HM Treasury thanks you for your contribution!

Yes, the combined road tax is more than £1k pa. Only paid VAT on two of them though

Which one goes in the garage?

The little red one just fits in the garage, which leaves a space for my teenage daughter's Fiesta. Guess who bought and is paying for that one as well!

Nice! I'm ever so slightly envious

Thank you. I do appreciate how fortunate I am to live out a life long fascination (addiction) to cars

Cangrats on the new car, looks gorgeous! as do the other cars on your drive.

Can I ask about the vat, if you get the vat back, don't you just pay a fortune in company car tax?

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I meant that I bought two new and therefore paid the VAT, and one was bought second hand, so someone else paid the VAT when new. All three are eligible for road tax.
